Info from Licensor: "This video, shot by Wildlife Educator Sean Roach, captures the incredible way that a tarantula grows, by molting its exoskeleton. While condensed to only 17 seconds, this time-lapse took 6 hours to capture the process. It’s estimated that 85% of the animals on Earth grow this same way, by molting their exoskeleton. The spider in this video is a 5” female Mexican red knee tarantula. Her name is Rosa. She is 8 years old and can live to 25 years or longer."
